NJ Diet Coach Says The K-E Diet is Medicine, Practice, Ethics and Greed at the Crossroads

New Jersey celebrity personal trainer, fitness expert and diet coach Carey Yang scoffs at the recent K-E Diet craze for extreme weight loss as a threat to public health leaving medicine, practice, ethics and greed at the cross roads.

Extreme Weight Loss for Wedding

 

"Lose 20 pounds in 10 days" is the big promise made by the most recent fad diet called "K-E Diet" or the "feeding-tube diet." The K-E Diet was featured in a New York Times article involving a nasogastric tube inserted through the nose and down into the esophagus for up to 10 days. The diet consists of a slow drip of protein and fat mixed with water, totaling 800 calories per day with no carbohydrates. The 10-day weight loss treatment costs $1500 and can result in the shedding of up to 20 pounds through ketosis, where the body burns fat instead of sugar.

K-E Diet Bridal Feeding Tube

The K-E Diet went viral in the news, TV and social media, particularly in the wedding weight loss industry. "I have many clients and friends asking me about the K-E Diet or extreme wedding weight loss diet," says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert in New Jersey.

 Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

"Allow me to set the record straight, anyone or anything that promises you to lose 20 pounds in 10 days should raise the big red-flag warning. You should check the FTC rules for claim violations."

Yang says. "After reading the NY Times article, watching TV news coverage, and watching their YouTube video, all I can say is that the doctor and the K-E Diet put the patient's health in danger, dispense distorted health information, misuse nutritional guidance, exploit the brides-to-be's desperate vulnerability for quick weight loss before wedding, and watch their profit before the patient's pocket," Yang says. "This truly put nutrition science, medical practice, ethics and greed at the crossroads."

Some of known and cited side effects of the K-E Diet are constipation, bad breath, dizziness, kidney stones, dehydration, and headaches. “It’s like the Atkins diet on a feeding tube, ” Yang says. "This type of weight loss lunacy gotta stop!" Yang comments.

How to Lose Belly Fat in 3 Easy Steps

Shed fat fast and improve your health. With so many methods available, it’s difficult to decide which one will help you lose your desired weight. Here are some good ways to shed body fat and never have to worry about it again.
Up the intensity of your workouts so that you are burning a lot more calories. The more intensity the harder your body works. Work at about 80-95% of your maximum heart rate a few times a week. The training sessions don’t have to be long. A ten minute jog followed by 10 x100m sprints and a minute or two of light jogging in between, and finishing up with five minute cool down is enough to get your heart rate up and increase the amount of calories you burn which will help you shed body fat.

Train for a competition like a 10km fun run and aim to get the best time you can. When you have something to look forward to and train for it’s much easier to stay motivated and get your daily workout in. If your goal is simply to lose weight it might be difficult to sustain your motivation and reach your goal weight. A competition can prevent boredom and help you maximize your fat loss.

Eliminate all the sugar from your diet. Sugar is the biggest culprit when it comes to weight. It seems to be included in almost everything we eat even if it isn’t a sweet or dessert. Cut out junk food as burgers also contain sugar – it’s found in the bread roll or the sauces. Get rid of chocolate, biscuits and cakes from your pantry along with all the sugar laden cereals. Just by getting rid of all the sugar you can dramatically increase your fat loss.

Drink plenty of water and herbal teas and eliminate the soft drinks and alcohol. Soft drinks contain sugar and are bad for your healthy. Alcohol isn’t too good either. If you want to shed body fat limit yourself to one or two standard drinks at the weekend and stop at that. You’ll save yourself a hangover the next day and won’t be damaging your liver. A healthy liver means it’s easier to lose weight.

Eat at regular intervals rather than going on a restrictive diet. People who can’t seem to lose weight are usually the ones who follow strict diets that tell them they can’t consume certain foods. By choosing to eat regularly you end up eating less but you keep your metabolism going at a rate that will help you shed pounds. Restricting will do the opposite because you are more likely to overeat when unexpected cravings arise. Go for less more often rather than more sporadically.

3 Keys to Maintain Your Weight Loss

Weight is not fat. “Weight” could be composed of mostly lean tissue, or it could be mostly water weight. In fact, I would go a step further and point out that rapid loss of bodyweight correlates very highly with a greater chance of relapse, weight re-gain and long term failure.


So what does impress me? What gets my attention?


I pay attention to what the “long term maintainers” have to say - those are the people who have maintained an ideal weight for over a year… preferably even 2-5 years or more.


Don't listen to "losers"... listen to maintainers!


As I was researching the subject of long term weight maintenance recently, I was surprised at the huge amount of research that's already been done in this area.


One paper that caught my interest was published by Judy Kruger and colleagues in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity/ It was titled,


“Dietary and physical activity behaviors among adults successful at weight loss maintenance.”


This was not an experimental study, but a compilation of data from the “Styles Survey” which was representative of the U.S. population and asked respondants questions about strategies to aid with weight maintenance.



In this particular survey, only one-third (30.96%) of the respondents said they were successful at keeping their weight off. The researchers wanted to know the difference between the small group that was successful and the majority that were not.

The difference between losers and maintainers

Both groups reduced the amount of food they consumed, they ate smaller portions, more fruits and vegetables, fewer fatty foods and fewer sweetened beverages.

Not really any surprises there, but what we want to know most is not what losers and maintainers have in common, but what the maintainers did that the losers didn't.
Some major differences emerged between losers and maintainers:
First, a significantly higher proportion of successful maintainers reported exercising 30 minutes or more daily, and they also reported adding other physical activity to their daily schedules (recreation, sports, physical work, etc).

In addition, more of the successful maintainers included weight training in their exercise regimens than did the losers.
Reducing sedentary activities (TV watching, etc) was also a significant difference between those who successfully maintained and those who did not.

The next big difference that separated the successful maintainers from the unsuccessful was in their “self-monitoring behaviors” including:
tracking calories

tracking body weight

planning meals

tracking fat

How Sunshine Can Help You Lose Fat Faster

We're only a few days away from Spring. Yay! It's raining these two days, hoping to wash away leftover snow and ice from two weeks ago.

Many people suffering from winter blues can now finally see more sunshine and brighter days ahead.

In a research study, people were found to engage in more and longer physical activies and exercises when days are longer. They tend to stay more active.

Sunshine indeed can help you lose fat faster because you stay outdoor longer and naturally increase activity levels so you bure more calories.
